2016 Esprit de la Vallee Cotes du Rhone Villages AOC 'Signargues'

From the finest vintage in the Rhone since 1990... the harvest rated 99/100 by Wine Spectator!

Description

Signargues is the southernmost village in the Cotes du Rhone appellation as well as one of its finest, being one of only 17 out of 95 in the region entitled the Cotes du Rhone Villages AOC. The 2016 vintage was one for the ages, called by many the finest since 1990. Hot days and cold nights provided both ultimate ripeness and freshness, and the wines have both early drinkability as well as potential to mature well in bottle. This Esprit de la Vallee 'Signargues' is an incredible bargain, showing all the elegance, power and concentration you'd expect from a much more expensive wine.

Beautifully spicy and silky, with hints of graphite and mineral mingling with a sensationally voluminous fruit profile. Gently tannic, with a luscious, lingering finish, this is insane Cotes du Rhone Villages for the money. you simply can't have too much. Enjoy now to 2022.
